In addition to providing health care services for people who have experienced a recent sexual assault, we offer training and resources for health care providers and other professionals.

We help communities throughout B.C. improve their capacity to respond to sexual assault by:
  • Sharing resources with health care providers

  • Implementation of Decision Support Tools (DSTs) for SANE care of Sexual assault Patients.
  • Coordinating and delivering an annual provincial SAE training program for nurses and physicians .
  • Training health care providers to care for sexual assault survivors in a hospital setting.
  • Promoting an integrated model of care that supports partnerships between health, legal, and community-based programs including specialized services such as Aboriginal, youth, and multicultural support services.
